In a year of highs & lows for his character Dean Winchester on The CW hit "Supernatural" Jensen Ackles acting skills were tested this year.Ackles has often shown great prowess as a comedic actor on the show, but this season more than any, his dramatic skills were tested, and he seemed to pass.... at least our fans think he did. From getting the wholly hell beat out of him by his 6'5 brother Sam, to having to play the part of Death to help out his brother, Ackles portrayed Dean more seriously this year than perhaps any other. His win over Taye Diggs from "Private Practice" of 57 votes didnt even seem possible a couple days before closing, as Diggs had a sizable lead for most of the event. But when the SPN fanbase finally caught wind their show & cast were in, they came on fast & furious & eventually overtook the top spot 1117-1060.The totals of 1117 & 1060 were the 1st & 2nd highest vote totals in all the polls. Showing this contest was the most hotly contested of the 7.For "Fringe" star John Noble, 3rd place in what is essentially a popularity poll can be seen as a small victory with 471 votes.After a very strong write in campaign in the nomination round, David Blue from "Stargate Universe" probably didnt disappoint the SGU fans by coming in 4th with 275 votes. "Burn Notice" star Jeffrey Doniovan frounded out the field with 249 votes.FINAL TOTALS1ST - JENSEN ACKLES "SUPERNATURAL" 11172ND - TAYE DIGGS "PRIVATE PRACTICE" 10603RD - JOHN NOBLE "FRINGE" 4714TH - DAVID BLUE "STARGATE UNIVERSE" 2755TH - JEFFREY DONOVAN "BURN NOTICE" 249

There is only 1 day left for voting on the Best Of TV 2010 awards on my site.With the People's Choice Awards done, this is the chance for some shows, who got shafted at the largest public voted awards to get a 2nd chance.If you have not already voted...You can vote here...http://canadagraphs.weebly.com/best-of-tv-awards-polls.htmlDespite lots of attempts to cheat/sabotage people, voting has continued. With each attempt to cheat or sabotage someone has come a new security issue I have had to deal with & create a way to sidestep the cheating. While I concede SOME cheater votes may have gotten mixed into the totals, MOST (i'll even say well over 95%) were thwarted.Unfortunately for the likes of House, Smallville & Private Practice, some of their contenders were disqualified for either blatant cheating, or being sabotaged before proper defenses were put in place. It should be noted that while House, Smallville & Private Practice candidates were caught using automated voting bots, MANY legitimate votes from these shows were also cast. unfortunately, it just took 1 jerk to ruin your chances. I apologize to those who took the effort to rally support for their shows, only to have it go for nothing. Trust me when I say, future polls will have far more advanced steps in place to prevent this from happening again.With that aside....with 1 day left of voting....here are the current results.BEST COMEDY PROGRAM1 The Big Bang Theory (270)2 Glee (168)3 How I Met Your Mother (157)4 Community (56)5 It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (45)BEST ACTION/DRAMA PROGRAM1 The Vampire Diaries (203)2 Dexter (197)3 Criminal Minds (126)4 Burn Notice (104)5 Greys Anatomy (91)BEST NEW PROGRAM
